The thing is, I cannot just quit and hope that I could take another job quickly. I want to switch fields, and finding the right job at a salary I can afford will take time. I've seen what is available.

I would have to be more reassured that I can receive unemployment benefits if I do quit. I could call the unemployment office and ask them questions about what is required of me to qualify.

AND, I am making mistakes at work... or, I continue to make stupid mistakes. My head is not in the game because of my father's death and because of my own mental health decline. I am taking anti-anxiety medication every day, that is supposed to be "as needed". My doctor increased my anti-depressant dosage by half and gave me a new anti-anxiety medication as well.

I am not well. I should be on disability, and I can't be.

My doctor said I should let my supervisor know that the added responsibility is causing more stress and exacerbation of my symptoms. I don't know what to do. They're not going to like that, since I asked for more for weeks before my father died.
